Didn’t take the propagandists long to switch their targets.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Well duh. You'd have to be a pretty shitty propagandist to keep making pot-shots at a guy who's no longer on the race.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

I don't care for Harris. However, since we live in a first-past-the-post two-party mess, I'll continue voting progressively (and for ranked-choice if it ever gets put to a vote) in all my local/primary elections and voting for whichever candidate is running against Trump.

The US is falling into despotism regardless of the wishes of Marxists, which is why we are seeing increased support for fascism from the far-right as a consequence.

True, but my red line was genocide. I figure this candidate might be better so I'm gonna roll the dice. 🤷‍♀️

Hey they're both better than the cheeto but who cares when we can use other people's lives as gambling chips

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well what the fuck else am I supposed to do besides vote for her? I'm gambling that she'll be better than Trump. That's it.

You know that she is doing the genocide as well, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The VP is a pretend job, she hasn't really done anything? I will be watching how she responds to Netanyahu's visit, though.

She's snubbing his speech so maybe???

[+] [email protected] -7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It is not a pretend job. She is complicit. And even if it was, which is not, she has been side by side Biden supporting him as he carries out his genocide. Moreover, she is deep in AIPAC’s pocket. The fact that you believe there is any innocent Democrat in power is concerning.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Okay all true, but the VP is still a pretend job. Maybe not as much as it was before but the VP doesn't actually have very much power. Unless the president is ~~article 12'd~~ amendment 25'd.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Did you mean the 25th amendment? Article 12 just describes the process for electing the president and VP.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I did.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yes, if she was actually innocent she would have been pushing to have Biden removed from office via the 25th Amendment so that she could take over his job and end the genocide as soon as possible. She's a careerist and would never dare risk her own political career for something like that, so instead she's meekly following along and making small gestures without committing.

But, even a careerist could see the benefits of being the US president that ended support for apartheid and genocide.

Don't get me wrong, my expectations for US politicians are really low. It's not like I'm donating money to her or anything, I'm just going to take a little bit of time to mail in a ballot because she might be less genocidal than Biden or Trump.

She's not standing up against the genocide as Vice, but she literally hasn't actually done anything to advance it either.

And that's my red line - no doing genocide.

The Attorney General does not keep people in prison, they only prosecute cases.. That's the parole board.

Has to do with bad crime lab evidence:

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article233375207.html

"While the San Francisco Police Department was responsible for running the lab, not Harris’s district attorney office, a court ruled in 2010 that the district attorney’s office violated defendants’ constitutional rights by not disclosing what it knew about the tainted drug evidence.

Judge Anne-Christine Masullo wrote in her decision that prosecutors “at the highest levels of the district attorney’s office knew that Madden was not a dependable witness at trial and that there were serious concerns regarding the crime lab.”

Hexbears out in full force today trying to pull at any thread they can

Are all critics of Liberalism from the left "Hexbears?"

and most don't even live in this country fuckin YAWNN

Any proof?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

they're usually from .ml too 💅

don't play this game bud nobody on Lemmy is supporting liberalism and shit but hexbear/ml types have stereotypes attributed to them and if you think I'm the one starting them or the only one saying that you're fooling.

maybe ask why these communities have such a bad label slapped on them and why most of us see Chinese/Russian propaganda flowing from these instances

Incorrect, Lemmy.world is extremely liberal and explicitly anti-Marxist, and sh.itjust.works leans conservative.

They have a "bad label" on the liberal instances like .world and sh.itjust.works, not everywhere. Additionally, you're free to visit Hexbear.net, they are far more active during US daytime hours. Pretending it's just "Chinese/Russian Propaganda" is baseless, like your claim that most Hexbear users aren't from the US.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Nope I'm actually not because I apparently cannot comment there anymore because one of these hexbear folk made a false claim and i corrected them.

And sure let's pretend they don't have a bad label lol I don't care of your opinion there

You can browse anonymously. Curious what fact you corrected, but that's not particularly relevant.

They have a bad label on the Liberal section of Lemmy, not overall. Simple as. If I'm being honest, I don't much care for the opinions of Liberals and supporters of Liberalism.

okay

I would love to see Trump try his usual attacks on Mark Kelly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Who decided that this campaign to suppress the vote was worth running? Imagine being this bad at your job. Worse yet… what donkeys are taking money to run this? I’ve worked some worthless jobs, but Christ… I’d feel awful about myself every day. Maybe it’s the same people that run the unending scams?
